Drugs and your views on this subject

For one to experience LSD-25, they'd have to take a trip back into the 80's. There is no more LSD-25, what is being used now are fact simily.
When Leary brought LSD-25 into the mainstream in the early 60s it was for spiritual enlightenment into awearness. A peek on the otherside so to speak. A place of reverance, like walking on holy ground. We used it to connect with our higher self in hopes to bring about peace and love.
LSD-25 was not meant to be a 'Party Drug', it was used to reach a frequency beyond what we experience in our ego mind.
When dealing with the Ego verses the Idd, tranquiality is of an essences. When Tim would take a group of us out to the canyon to experience, it was very quiet and as far away from the city as we could get. We would take cheese, fruit, bread and wine and blankets to sit on.
Tim would pass out the little blue viles of LSD-25 and we would gather in a circle and OHMMM asking for blessings and awearness. Tim would read from Psychedelic Prayers and we would open our minds and clear out the stagnation of thought.
We would join in mind consciousness and in unity we would focus our energies on connecting with our higher selves on the other side of reality as we know it.
Tim would guide us as we journied into the unknown. When one of us were faced with fear, he would talk us back. Soothingly and easing us into a more stable mental place. We would talk and discuss the nature of reality and GOD, we read the I Ching and we chanted mantras under the starry night. We pondered creation and the purpose of being. We took council from Tim's guidence and we studied humanity and it's connection with good and evil.
We would have experience's a least once a week in the canyon untill Tim's 'work' took him places we could not go. But there were ones he left to help us on our journey to enlightenment.
From there we each took our own path and grew from lessons learned into what we are today. I belive that with proper trainning we would not have to depend on drugs to find our higher selves. That with out the 'clutter' to interfer with our connection we would loose our fear and we could expand our minds in a different direction of consciousness. If we were taught to love and be in harmony with self, we would be better able to be at peace with others.
Detachment from the bond that binds you into a reality of obsession and greed from furstration and anger into a place of understand that all things pass and nothing remains the same. It is a cycle of life. It's the seeds that we plant along the way. What we leave behind and what we teach our children is what shapes the flow of being.
What example we set to follow and gude us where we will be of the most use. Leaving Ego to rest in the bottom of the heart and love your brothers and sisters as you love yourself and shine like a beacon of love and peace..

 

I'm with Maynard here: a person only needs to use a drug or drugs once to reach a hightened state of mind; afterwards, they shouldn't need any drugs to maintain that state. My history of psychedelics is fairly shallow; I have been waiting for an opportunity to raise myself another level. I feel that there is a very great potential within my mind. One, when unlocked, will allow me to think in ways I never imagined; nearly enlightenment.

I have tried DXM twice, and LSD once. The first experience was a mere 180 mg of DXM; nothing amazing, but it certainly threw me into a mindset I had never experienced. Afterwards, I felt prepared for a life-changing experience; which I found from LSD. What a life change that was... and at the age of 16; I became androgynetic. Finally, my most tramatic and insightful experience came about 3 months later when I took 780 mg of DXM; I wouldn't suggest it to somebody who isn't crazy.

Very unsafe; I nearly died from the encounter. I found out that I'm not as smart as I thought I was... which is why I don't feel prepared for pushing it farther, yet. I deconstructed myself completely, and changed into what I am now. Although, bewilderment has brought me much farther from the time I had that experience; I jumped years on my gender identity disorder. I'd been aware of all this stuff before, but I figured out that I needed to explore this thing now, rather than later; I express myself in a completely new way. I would not have lived this long if it hadn't been for both DXM and LSD; I would have commited suicide, there is very little doubt in my mind against that.

So, in my opinion, drugs that expand your mind should be used VERY selectively; they are tools, not just drugs. As far as safety, most are relatively safe, as long as you know what you're doing (not just think you know...). You can overstep the boundaries though; many people get steered away from certain drugs because they make stupid decisions without thinking about the consequences. If you're gonna try something like psychedelics, take all the necessary precautions; and then some.

 

What I think is that drugs are just a key. They open a door in your mind and if you have the right mindset then that door should remain open. That has happened to me slightly in that after I have taken XTC I still feel slightly 'loved up' permanently. However I like doing drugs even if I have reached that stage. I like being f*cked every now and then you know? Don't get me wrong I'm not fucked all the time and I don't ever want to be but on rare occasions like birthdays, new years and so on I like being f*cked and if anyone judges me on that then I don't want to associate with them quite frankly.
